Original artwork, not a still
Before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. I don’t think it would be snowing now if he weren’t still up there. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it.
— Edward Scissorhands ‧ 1990
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker connects the arrival of snow with someone's presence and takes its continuation as a sign that he remains nearby. The reasoning gives the weather a personal meaning. Ending with dancing turns that belief into a continuing relationship with a memory, expressed through an ordinary physical pleasure.
